Michael Nygard on Java
I took the following off Michaelnygard.com, which I read thanks to Daring Fireball linking to it.
“Regarding Java. I fear that Java will have to be abandoned to the “Enterprise Development” world. It will be relegated to the hands of cut-rate business coders bashing out their gray business applications for $30 / hour. We’ve passed the tipping point on this one. We used to...
This is a link about a nudist colony
Turns out the fastest growing segment is 18-25.
Duh! This is the kind of thing old Germans have been doing for generations.
They lose most of their kids around puberty (no shit). So, since there are nearly none of this age group as members, all they need are MORE THAN ONE. Next thing you know a marketing type is playing up this fast growth and “consulting (for a fee) you to make a...

Apple had a few bights stolen.
This report from the San Jose Mercury newspapers website (thanks to John Gruber) suggests a possible reason for the ‘failure’ of Apple to meet demand for its phone and pad.

If there are crooked suppliers gaming the system, because of a disloyal thief in your employ, it becomes very hard to meet targets.

I love Sarah Palin
Not only is she a babe, and that kind of babe that only needs three drinks, which is even more important than being a babe, but she understands the issue.
We, the civilized world, are at war, with heathens.
You know who they are. The OTHER, those fureners that have a billion kids and think life is cheap.
They hate us. They are envious little pukes and we can’t let them have what we have....
City "buys" Ticats is the only solution.
Both sides on the Fan today (5:30A.M.)
Mayor Fred says he is not responsible for the Ti-Cats being profitable, and he wants a sustainable stadium. Lets see if we can work on this guys. Merger. Merger! Call it a merger!

Strategy?
Obama is too polite to say, “Bush got us into this mess and its a bitch getting us out. Thats our...
Hamilton Street Railway gets involved in local...
As should everyone who is allowed, by the way. I have an interest in the election of a new councillor for ward 3. Let me be clear about that.
Also, I support Bernie Morelli for Mayor.
Its what I call a win - win.
Hamilton gets a mayor that has already taken credit for everything good, and ward 3 gets a councillor that won’t take credit for moving the ward 3 LCBO to ward 4. Way to go...
It's up again
They took a bit of time to get more story
